Legal scholar, academic, researcher stuck in red neoliberal.

BALINT: This is not a game, secretary. BONDI: 1 am Attorney General. BALINT: My apologies; I couldn't tell.

One of the the best statements of the Bondi hearing was when @balint.house.gov put Bondi in her place. “I COULDN’T TELL!”
This #CupOfJoe was heard around the world.
The tide is turning. Keep the pressure on about ALL of the issues! Make a list & call your MOCs. 202-224-3121

that’s a wine mom imo. we count those

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Rhetorial question but how is it ice's job to go after agitators

If you missed the exchange between @raskin.house.gov and Pam Bondi today, watch this masterful statement from him on behalf of the Epstein victims:

“You are siding with the perpetrators and you are ignoring the victims. That will be your legacy.”

Repost if you agree she is the worst AG in history.

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

THIS! 💯💯💯

In yesterday’s congressional hearing, ICE bristled at being called fascist

This story from Idaho alleges they went well beyond fascism-all the way to an American Gestapo

“Parents and children were zip tied at gunpoint”

“officers used racial slurs and sorted..the crowd into groups” based on race

the statute that Jeanine Pirro reportedly tried to indict congressional Dems under, 18 USC 2387, was originally passed as part of the 1947 Smith Act, a notorious law used to clamp down on free speech during the Red Scare

Someone give this woman a ham sandwich.

Rep. Delia Ramirez has been an incredible leader during these dark times.

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

💔

I have no inside knowledge but it almost feels like a kind of malicious compliance from Pirro/whover worked on this. Like "Ok, sure boss. You bet. Coming right up. Six indictments of MoC for a video they did."

A righteous victory.

Rep. Raskin Confirms ‘Troubling’ And ‘Unnecessary’ Epstein File Redactions

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump.

The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files.
What else are they hiding?

The Next Financial Collapse - The American Prospect In the coming crisis, the Fed is not likely to be in good hands.

The economy might experience a severe financial crisis sometime this year. We’ll have to rely on Fed chair-designate Kevin Warsh and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to contain it — and we don’t believe they will.

SWALWELL: You said you wanted to see a deportation process that was 'like Amazon Prime but with human beings.' How many times has Amazon Prime shot a mom 3 times in the face?

LYONS: None

Rep. Kennedy: Will you commit to immediately unmasking every ICE agent and requiring them to wear standard uniforms with identifiable badges?

ICE Chief Lyons: No.

Rep. Kennedy: Your answer is completely unacceptable.

Rep. Lieu: “Howard Lutnick must resign… The Epstein Files new release shows that not only did Howard Lutnick lie to the American people, he went into business with Jeffrey Epstein, he visited Epstein Island, and Howard Lutnick did this knowing how evil Epstein was.”

McIver: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

Lyons: Yes

McIver: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? Do you think you’re going to hell?

"This is Mia, 7 years old -- 'I don't want to be in this place. I want to be in my school'" -- Walkinshaw confronts Lyons with letters written by kids being detained by ICE

KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

LUTNICK: I don't know

K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level?

L: I don't know

K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*."

Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

TO RECAP:
- The president will grant the most notorious living sex trafficker on the planet clemency, if she testifies that he’s innocent
- They don’t want you to believe the thousands of women who were victims of Epstein
- But they do expect you to believe ONE woman, Ghislaine Maxwell
